BEST Responses to "I have a boyfriend"

One I came up with the other day was, "I know! He sent me over to you to test how you'd respond!"

Today I tried "Awesome, that makes it way more exciting".

I might up the anti next time and say "You know what.... I find fucking someone's girlfriend a massive turn-on"

"A borefriend?"

I usually tackle it like this:
She: I have a boyfriend
Me: Ofcourse you do, look at you. Question is, are you happy with him

or

She: I have a boyfriend
Me: Where does he live?
She: He lives in [insert city where I dont live]
Me: In that case you need a [insert city where I live] boyfriend aswell

e.g. He lives in washington - in that case, you need a NYC boyfriend as well

My sample size is too small to say with absolute conviction it works:D

I still like Sasha's method most. Seems to make the most sense.

I think foreign girls use it to brush you off alot.

@CaryGrant: what do you mean off the bat response? It annoys me sometimes when I think about it. They are so irresponsible for their words. Lie to people's faces without feeling bad. I feel bad even when I lie to salespeople.

oh, does anyone here has any statistic data about how many women are single? e.g. out of ten?

Great post guys.

I like the idea of what someone said earlier. "What is his name?", "Are you happy?".

I think you shouldn't underestimate the impact of acting confident and genuine with the girl. Off the top of my head I feel like a girl's respect is worth more than anything and even if she is happy, she will still feel flattered and glad she spoke with you.

"I'm sorry but I have a boyf..."
"Shhh" (place finger on lip, hers if you are feeling ballsy)

Just want to point out that don't waste your time and energy if its going no where. Flirt and banter as much as you want but if she's got a boyfriend then it might be best to just leave it.

I'm suggesting this is because when I was doing my sales training, I was told that you should be looking for "buying signals", don't waste your energy on customers who just won't buy. Its numbers game so don't be surprised if majority don't workout. Many people don't approach enough and that could be the problem.

Its just the response girls use as a default excuse to get them out the awkwardness of being hit on. "Off the bat" means straight-away.

As I said earlier, the BF objection is often an knee jerk reaction. When girls are caught off-guard or are feeling umcomfortable and dont know what to do they usually just blurb out anything to get them out of it.

"That sort of thing has never concerned me", followed, if necessary by, "I will enjoy you no matter what events may or may not transpire." (Credit Todd)

Funnily enough, I got two boyfriend objections today actually:

- The first was from a Polish girl who was here for a week on holiday. She was well into me, as I laser-eye-fucked the life out of her.

She said, giggling, "I'm sorry I can't meet you for coffee (in the week), my boyfriend gets very jealous."

Before we went our separate ways, I said, "C'mhere, give me some love," and went for the hug. She hugged me tightly (watch out for this indicator, I believe it gives away a lot about a girl's emotional state in that moment), and rubbed her hand up my back, before letting me give her a kiss on the cheek and hold her around the waist before she toddled off to meet her boyfriend who was waiting for her around the corner.

- Second girl, was a tiny cute thing I started talking to at the bus stop. I said all the usual things to her, got her giggling, investing, asking me questions, inviting me to pop round to the bar where she works.

When I said to her, "You know, I've got half a crush on you already," she giggled and said,

"Oh, I don't know what my boyfriend would think about that."

Eventually she had to leave, but hugged me tightly after I'd given her the "C'mhere..." line above.

Hilarious, but frustrating.

"Oh, I don't know what my boyfriend would think about that."

"That's ok. He can come too so he wont have to feel left out. He can pay too."

"Well, it's only half so he wont have to think about it too much ."

But I'd only use those just for a laugh and then follow it up with "Ok cool. SDoesnt mean I cant compliemtn you and say hi." and then continue as normal.

I have the opposite problem.

I asked out a girl who works in my local Japanese restaurant  and she started making excuses like oh no I can't drink on the clock my boss will kill me. I said well I didn't mean now I mean when you are free, so she says no I live quite far so it would be a hassle but maybe some other time. As if I had proposed specific dates??!
her responses were auto responses as far as I can guess.
So I just left it at that.

But the next week I overheard her telling her co worker about her bf troubles.

Why would she not tell me she had a bf and use a different excuse? Do you think its because she wants me to ask her another time when she has broken up with him?
